Grilled Country-Style Pork Ribs

Ingredients

• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder 
• 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder 
• 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder 
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin 
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt 
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar light packed
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder 
• 3.5 pounds pork ribs country-style

Equipment

• bowl
• plastic wrap
• baking pan
• grill
• kitchen thermometer
• aluminum foil
• ziploc bags
• grill pan

Directions

1. Place all of the ingredients except the pork in a small bowl and stir to combine. Rub the spice mixture evenly on all sides of the ribs.
2. Place the meat in a resealable plastic bag or a baking dish covered with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
3. Let the ribs sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
4. Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium (about 350°F to 450°F).
5. Place the ribs on the grill with the larger, flatter side down, cover the grill, and cook until the pork is browned and crusty on the bottom, about 5 to 7 minutes. Flip, cover, and cook until it’s browned and crusty on the other side, about 5 to 7 minutes more. Rotate the ribs so that they are resting on a thinner side (you may need to prop them up against one another), cover, and cook until browned and crusty, about 4 to 6 minutes. Flip to the other thinner side, cover, and cook until browned and crusty or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thickest rib registers 145°F, about 4 to 6 minutes more.
6. Transfer to a clean serving platter, tent loosely with foil, and let rest about 5 minutes before serving.
